There's been a slight delay with the launch of Gone Home on the Switch eShop. Following the announcement it would be available to purchase on 23rd August - aligning with the game's fifth anniversary, the title has now been pushed back to 6th September in both North America and Europe. There's currently no information about the Japanese release date, either.
Published by Annapurna Interactive and developed by The Fullbright Company, Gone Home is a short first-person exploration adventure set in 1995. You take on the role of a girl named Katie who explores her family home located in rural Oregon, which has seemingly been abandoned.
The title was originally scheduled to arrive during the Wii U generation but was never released.
Have you previously played Gone Home? Will you consider this when it finally arrives on the Switch eShop? Tell us below.

I can't believe they're making me wait a whole extra month to walk around a house as slowly as possible.
@ReaderRagfish “More like Gone to Sleep, amirite?”
Fixed it for you
They had to tweak the combat apparently
More like "come home," amirite?
It's a big pass by me.. 30 minutes to 1 hour game play or sub 50 seconds if you don't care for the narrative?
Don't get me wrong I'm not intending to place a downer on creative angle of the game, but the focus on an individuals sexual orientation and the trappings of a dull 90's virtual family? Naaaaa, not for me.
I thought this game was also free these days?
RGT 85 has an historic review that takes longer to watch than play the game and was very much more enjoyable 😁

Must admit this game was a letdown for me. Played this with my ex-girlfriend on PC for the story, but it wasn't very interesting. Hard pass for me.
That's nice, but where's the gameplay?
Had this on pc, couldn't get it to run properly. Will probably try again on switch when it's under a fiver....
Gone Home, you were drunk (?)
Never even heard of the game, will have to see if I can find a trailer or something on youtube to check it out.
@Multi Just watched the video......the game of the year? SJW pandering is stupid enough, but where’s the GAME part of the “game”?
One of the worst "games" I've ever played and the story is simple and boring.
@ReaderRagfish @RailX made one.
I was actually quite excited about Gone Home until I read the comments above. Guess I'll be able to make my own decision but knowing me my thoughts are probably going to be like the others.
@wazlon go in as blind and open minded as possible. The game is deeper than most realise or give it credit for imho.
@RailX Ok then, will do. Have always been curious about the game and didn't think to buy it on PC.
This is just a two hour long home invasion/voyeur simulator. Pass.
